Travel
Leaving the cold behind in April, I boarded the first of two Southwest flights on my way to Tucson, Arizona. Changing planes in Chicago was easy enough in the terminal, I had enough time for a quick walk to get a snack before having to line up by number (quite […]
I was pretty much drained and in need of a vacation – you know when you get to that point – sleep, work, gym, wash, repeat. The winter days slowly go by, you want the sun on your face, you want to put the winter coat and gloves and other […]
The flight from Lima to JFK was set to leave after midnight which made the last day in the city quite long. Having toured the Incan ruins at Pachacamac in the morning and the Magic Water Circuit at night, I was pretty exhausted and looking forward to a bit of […]

I was ready to continue my South American adventure by flying from Easter Island to Lima rather than back to Santiago where it began just a week ago. I had redeemed for two one way British Airways award tickets for the trip using their partner, LAN. One flight was New York […]
Over the years traveling solo, I’ve met many people who have adopted me either due to my witty personality (haha!) or because they feel bad I am alone. It’s great to meet new travelers to explore with no matter what the reason – I’ve stopped caring about the “why” At the […]
